13 Best Scenes From 2016's Summer Blockbusters

5. Sabotage! (Star Trek Beyond)

X Men Apocalypse Batman V Superman Captain America Civil War

The Scene: In order to destroy Krall's (Idris Elba) colossal fleet of drones, the Enterprise crew converts The Beastie Boys' iconic tune Sabotage into a dissonant signal which disorientates the drone swarm and allows it to be dismantled with ease.

Why It's Awesome: Because while it's inherently ridiculous, it's also an extremely imaginative way to do away with the enemy, and Justin Lin goes all in, making the most of the music by setting it to glorious scenes of fiery destruction.

Plus, props to Simon Pegg and co. for finding another way to insert a Beastie Boys song into the Star Trek world without it seemingly overly out of place.

Defeated by a song that didn't even the crack the #10 spot in any country it charted in: how hilariously embarrassing for Krall.
